Upperclassman Parents: July 2015

Dear Parents,

We hope you are enjoying the summer and have been able to spend quality time with your HPU student. Parents are our partners and play a vital role in your student’s journey. You know their strengths and personal characteristics better than anyone, so please encourage your student to take full advantage of the Office of Career and Professional Development.

Summer internships are an important component of successful outcomes. Employers often regard internship, volunteer, and service experience as relevant preparation for new hires.

Please read this post on 6 Tips to Maximize Your Student’s Internship Experience. The information in this post is adapted from recent stories published online by Business Insider and Fortune magazine.

Also, our website is designed to inform and inspire students and parents. We invite you to take a look at www.highpoint.edu/careerinternships.

Thank you for your continued advocacy and support. We look forward to partnering with you and your student in our new facility, the Center for Student Success, opening this August. Please visit when you are on campus!
